Malik Thompson, Lakeland Kicker, Weighs Transfer Portal Option
Lakeland Dreadnaughts junior kicker Malik Thompson is reportedly considering a transfer to a new high school due to an academic opportunity. The 7A program faces a significant loss if Thompson decides to leave, as his departure would leave a void at a position that is already scarce in the FHSAA. Thompson's kicking skills have been a key component of the Dreadnaughts' offense, and his departure could impact the team's overall performance. According to sources, Thompson is being recruited by several schools in the state of Georgia and Alabama, both of which offer more competitive kicking programs. The transfer portal timeline for FHSAA schools is set to begin on July 25, and it remains to be seen whether Thompson will take advantage of the opportunity to transfer.
